History of ships named ENTERPRISE
http://www.totse.com/en/ego/science_fiction/enthst.html ^

***** INTRODUCTION *****

This is an updated and expanded history of ships named "Enterprise", and replaces the previous edition (uploaded in December 1988) which is still available in this data library. During the year which has elapsed, I've been able to obtain more detail on the U.S. Navy "Enterprises", track down the history of all British Royal Navy ships called "Enterprise", and obtain limited information on French Navy "Enterprises" and a Confederate "Enterprise.

Between 1705 and 1979, there were 12 'HMS Enterprises", while between 1775 and 1999, there were 8 "USS Enterprises". There have also been 8 NASA and Starfleet "Enterprises", 8 French "Enterprises", 1 Confederate "Enterprise", and countless privately-owned "Enterprises". As I researched the history of the name, I quickly realized that each of these ships had a fascinating history, and that the missions and patrols carried out by each ship are a reflection of the state of international relations and maritime technology at that point in time. I hope you will also find this interesting reading.

This is more then sci-fi trickery. I find tihs interesting due to the fact the name Enterprise has a historical legend (expcet with the French). Heck even the Rebs had a ship named Enterprise.
